1. Manuscript Types and Specifications

The Archives of Obesity and Metabolism (AOM) is a peer-reviewed journal published twice per year on June 30 and December 31. This journal covers articles on obesity, metabolic syndrome, and complications of obesity. Manuscripts may include reviews, original research, case reports, perspectives, editorials, and correspondences.

The submission guidelines for the AOM are based on the "Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals" by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) (http://www.icmje.org/icmje-recommendations.pdf).

Authors must specify the manuscript type on the cover page of their submission.

1) Review: A manuscript presenting insights and perspectives on topics related to obesity, metabolic syndrome, and complications of obesity through a review of existing research. Submissions can be made by the author, or the Editorial Board may request specific topics and contributors.

2) Original Article: A manuscript presenting research findings derived from various studies related to obesity, metabolic syndrome, and complications of obesity.

3) Case Report: A manuscript reporting new or previously unobserved phenomena, as well as clinical cases that are relevant to the scope of the journal and have educational value.

4) Perspective: A manuscript presenting the author’s knowledge and viewpoint on existing or emerging academic issues. Submissions can be made by the author, or the Editorial Board may request specific topics and contributors.

5) Editorial: A manuscript providing commentary and analysis on recently published papers in the AOM. These articles are written by the Editorial Board or authors commissioned by the Editorial Board.

6) Correspondence: A manuscript commenting on recent papers published in the AOM, new cases, or other topics of interest within the scope of the journal.

The final decision on manuscript acceptance is made following the review by the Editorial Board if deemed significant.

2. Preparation of Submitted Manuscripts.

1) Adherence to Reporting Guidelines

The journal recommends that authors identify the essential information required for research based on the study design and incorporate it into the manuscript. The CONSORT guidelines (http://www.consort-statement.org) should be followed for randomized controlled trials, the STROBE guidelines (http://www.strobe-statement.org)for observational studies, the PRISMA guidelines (http://www.prisma-statement.org) for systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and the STARD guidelines (http://www.stard-statement.org)for diagnostic accuracy studies.

For human research, the manuscript should include approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB). In research utilizing human-derived materials, authors must explicitly state that written informed consent was obtained from all participants prior to inclusion in the study. All procedures involving the use of experimental animals must adhere to the ethical guidelines established by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). Authors must indicate that the study protocol was approved by the IACUC (or an equivalent institutional ethics committee), or that all animal procedures conformed to the ethical standards of the institution and complied with the NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (http://www.nap.edu/read/5140/chapter/1).

In addition, all manuscripts submitted to this journal must comply with the guidelines recommended by the Gender Innovation Policy (http://gister.re.kr/gis/kr/gender/gender02.php). Authors should distinguish between sex (biological factors) and gender (identity, psychosocial, or cultural factors) when presenting research findings. Ideally, studies should include both male and female participants and perform a comparative analysis of the results. In cases where only one sex is studied, authors are encouraged to provide a rational explanation. The manuscript should also distinguish between race and ethnicity and describe the methods used to determine these categories and their relevance.

2) Guidelines on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Archives of Obesity and Metabolism adheres to the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and encourages transparent disclosure and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies during manuscript preparation.

Generative AI tools may be used in a limited capacity to enhance linguistic clarity, such as grammar correction, vocabulary refinement, and improvement of readability. However, AI must not be used to generate scientific content, interpret data, or draw key research conclusions.

In principle, tables should be written in Korean. However, if it enhances the reader’s understanding or is appropriate because of the nature of the terms, it may be written in English. Tables should be concise and clear enough to explain themselves without the need to read the main text. If the table is not one that you created, permission must be obtained from the copyright holder and acknowledged in a footnote.

The title of the table should be aligned at the top left. The tables should be numbered in the order they are cited in the text. The word “Table(표)” should be followed by one space, the Arabic numeral, and a period. The title should not end with a period. In the main text, refer to the table as “(Table number).”

Tables should be created with double spacing and placed on separate pages. Except for the top horizontal line, no other horizontal or vertical lines should be used inside the table. If abbreviations are used in the table or if any explanation is needed, the footnotes should be provided at the bottom of the table. Use lowercase letters (a, b, c) as superscripts on the right side of the part needing an explanation and align the corresponding footnotes at the bottom.

Units used in the table should be indicated within the table itself and should not be separately noted outside the table. Avoid using unnecessary capital letters for unit symbols. When creating tables, include information such as the average, standard deviation, and sample size. In the footnotes, specify the statistical methods used. For ratios, provide both the response count and the ratio, and for correlation coefficients, provide the correlation coefficient value.

⑨ Figures and Figure Captions (if applicable)

Figures, photos, and captions should be written in Korean as a general rule. However, if it enhances the reader’s understanding, or is appropriate because of the nature of the terms, it may be written in English. If the figure is not one that you have created, you must obtain permission from the copyright holder and acknowledge this in the figure caption.

Figures or photos should be submitted as separate files in PDF, GIF, Tagged Image File Format (TIF or TIFF), or Adobe Illustrator (.ai) formats at a resolution of 600 dpi or higher. When creating figures, use bar graphs or line graphs to represent averages or proportions, and indicate the size of the standard deviation or standard error. The p-value must always be presented. Specify the statistical methods used in the figure caption. The title should end with a period.

Figures should be numbered in the order they are cited in the main text, following the word “Figure” with a single space and using Arabic numerals with a period after the number. In the main text, refer to the figure as “(Figure number).” If there are multiple images under one figure number, label them as “그림 1가,” “그림 2나,” and so on.

⑩ Supplementary Appendix (If Applicable)

The appendix of the manuscript must be paginated along with the table of contents and should include the list of researchers (if applicable), text (e.g., methods), figures, tables, and references.
